Waking life becoming a psychadelic experience (without entheogens)

[Observer]

Sober now from everything besides the occasional drink or occasional spliff with a friend, but this is very interesting and lovely!
I posted this on my facebook to see results, but im curious to what my spiritual family also perceives in their reality. 

Coming to the point now where every day life is pretty similar to a psychedelic experience, is this normal during spiritual awakening? And no I am not seeing purple elephants everywhere or having insane sociopathic thought processes, but I am feeling a very heightened quality of senses, and nearly constant metaphysical revelations, and a deep understanding for everything I perceive. Dreams & emotions are also becoming very vivid and incredible to witness, who else shares this path?

[Zachary]

All I have to say is I am just coming off of smoking/vaping (weed) everyday multiple times daily for more than a year STRAIGHT

and I feel great!

[Observer]

Yeah I had been on a path similar, but its really this fantastic feeling to be truly awake so to speak, its often mind boggling and truly humbling. I exited a deep kundalini meditation tonight, followed it with a 1 hour 7 chakra alignment, and then followed that with 2 seperate 1 hour sessions for my third eye and my crown respectively, exited meditation and the clarity is just unbelievable. But I wake up and notice these things too so I know it isnt an event strictly governed by the act of meditation, there must have been something that just... clicked

It could be the meditation working on your subconscious.

Nice. I agree, it feels good to be clear. Thats awesome man, keep up the meditation. Im finding my mind is still re-orienting itself to sobriety. I have a tendency to get carried away in thought when I smoke. I still meditated and grew spiritually but it was under the influence of a mind altering substance. This could be just me...but my being was screaming to make it stop and just be clear. It can be really disorienting being under the influence of mind altering substance that consistently and that long. I mean I had no T-breaks. I find it messes with the reward system of the brain. Its nice to feel more firmly "planted"/grounded. I have a more solid stable base to work from now. I am looking forward to my short term memory coming back. I am finding there are definitely lingering effects that will take time to be cleansed. Not that I think weed is bad...just 1. I abused it 2. I got lost in it. I wasn't always lost in it but I was lost frequently enough for it to make me want to stop. I had gotten into growing it all and the whole nine...gave the remaining ounce to my neighbor on impulse...just wanted it to be gone. If I can't maintain balance with it, I don't want it around. I have much to learn working with the sober mind/natural states of being. No point in running away anymore.

Drugs are just a short cut to opening the third eye. The same results can easily be reached without the intake of substances if one is functioning at the indigo level, and with far fewer potential negative consequences. If anything, drugs are a means of showing what to aim for- training wheels, if you will.

[Matt1]

I see drugs as an initiation of a certain type. Once you get the message its best to hang up the phone.

Too strong of psychedelics over time can cause mental illness.

Im not on any entheogens and its stated in the title man.. Thanks for that tho appreciate all the feedback

You can suddenly become allergic to anything...

&, of all things, I suddenly became allergic to marijuana. & I think I loved it more than anyone. It's sad but at the same time I think it's highly amusing.

I was a heavy user for about 7yrs straight. Graham Hancock thinks that the reason he had to abstain for 3yrs recently was bc he abused it - by using it daily.

Apparently, I abused "the green b!tch" (that's what Hancock calls mj) even worse than he did bc now I must abstain from it for the rest of this lifetime.

My new year's resolution this year was to quit using it until it becomes legal where I'm at. However, I broke my resolution on 1/25 bc I wanted edibles for my bday.

The edibles weren't that great to me. They made 10mins feel like an hour & were just way too powerful.

I assumed my recent severe cut-down in usage had caused the adverse & intense reaction...or either the fact I ate the stuff instead of smoking it. It didn't cross my mind that I could have an allergy developing.

The fact that the edibles made my right eyelid swell slightly didn't set off any alarms, either, for some reason.

Since it was supposed to be my bd present & I didn't even really enjoy it I decided to purchase a bag & smoke it to see if that would be better.

The same thing happened. The high was too intense for me to enjoy it much & again it made my eyelid look a little puffed. I was like wth is this...

My new rule was that I definitely wouldn't purchase it again til it's legal but if someone offered me some I would take it. I kept getting offered some about once a month & every time it would leave me feeling not-so-hot & like I was about to pass out or die.

so this month I said to people that the next time someone offers it idk if I'll take it. I was to the point where I was ready give up on the chance of it making me feel nothing but good again.

A day after I told someone that I didn't know if I'd take the next offer...it was offered to me. & I took it...

& I had a full-blown allergic reaction.

My eyelid got extremely swollen, my throat got swollen to where I could hardly breathe/swallow, my nose got completely stuffed, I broke out in hives, I couldn't get comfortable, I kept feeling on the verge of dying or going into a coma or passing out.

I'll never be able to consume the stuff again, for fear of that happening again.

@isis

I had a similar experience with marijuana as well. I used to be a heavy user from my teenage years until my early 20s. My early 20s is when I used the most. And then I moved so I wasn't able to find any because I didn't really know anybody in my new neighborhood. And so after that, I would just smoke twice or less a year, almost as a tradition. But towards the end of those years, almost every time I would smoke I would get a bad sinus infection. My sinuses were so painful. It was so extremely annoying. So I basically stopped smoking it. I think that it's probably been roughly 8 years since I stopped smoking it. I crave it sometimes. But your experience reminded me of that bad sinus infection that I used to get, so I'm definitely not going to use it anymore. I guess I did get allergic to it.

That's interesting.  

Something similar happened to me with the plant mitragyna speciosa, otherwise known as "kratom".  In the beginning, it provided me with the most spiritual euphoria and absolute well being, and freedom from all anxiety.  I liked it even more than cannabis.   I used it relatively frequently, and then one day, out of the blue it just plain stopped doing that.  Now, the mere smell of it will make me almost uncontrollably projectile vomit.  My body viscerally rejects it, in all forms.  And even many months after I ceased using it, it still brings me no pleasure anymore, even though my tolerance should be nil at this point.

Stubbornly, I finally accepted that some portion of my beingness, did not want me partaking of this herb.

[Minyatur]

After each mushroom trip, the next one tastes even worst than the previous ones. I get shivers from the smell alone.

I smoke weed daily, still not seeing a problem with that as of now.

[native]

Yes it's normal. The unity always was and always is there, you're just learning to naturally tune into it. One issue is that it can go in the opposite direction and you have to learn how to remain grounded.

[Minyatur]

Each psychedelic experience awakens me further, and each time I feel that I do not want to awaken.

[Indigo Light]

I believe you developed these allergies due to the face that these drugs weren't helping you anymore. Your vibration has superceded the vibration inhibited by using drugs. Instead of raising your vibration, now they are lowering them. The same thing has happened to me with opium. I use to take opium and meditate for hours, in a mysticl euphoric type state of being. Now I take them and become sick for hours. We use these drugs as synthetic vibration raisers. Once you go past what the drug would have raised it to, it is lowering it. So you feel worse. I believe your body then goes about putting defenses for you not to use it.

[Indigo Light]

You no longer need these drugs to raise your vibrations, you are beyond these drugs. Lay them down and keep it seeking.

What about http://awesomedrops.com/ ?

It is spiritual water. I tried it and felt it unblocking me inside. But it wasn't psychedelic.

I even got to their Clear Light water, and did that pure. But I'm past that.

To those who said that psychedelics stop working. I was mentioning how even charged water stops working too.

It'd be weird to always be on a similar effect to psychedelics all the time.

Every time I'd look into a mirror, I'd think of my body as that of an alien. When a trip ends I'm actually amazed how I can go back to considering it normal.

I'm also glad to partially go back to sleeping 3D mode and loose contact with my higher self and my soul or energy field. All was well before I started awakening, now the resting period is nearing it's end and it does suck from this perspective.

I believe there is balancing you still need to achieve before you awaken then.

It's the other way around. There is balancing and healing to do after awakening.

or you just wish to play. =)

[AnthroHeart]

How do you define being awakened Minyatur?

[Minyatur]

or you just wish to play. =)

I call it rest. 

[Indigo Light]

I honestly wouldn't know I believe. I think I began from a higher point of view. Before it got to this level. I believe that why I come back to experience an awaken from this deep within the dream. So excuse me I am sorry.

[Minyatur]

How do you define being awakened Minyatur?

Tuning in with my higher self, becoming it incarnated here on earth in awareness. 

Well that's half true, awakening did makes me realize you're never truly asleep.

[Indigo Light]

shits wild. it isn't the infinite creator for nothing.

[Minyatur]

shits wild. it isn't the infinite creator for nothing.

Well the awakened perspective is great, the abyss of darkness to transmute into light is less great.

As Tan said in the question thread, I am part of a group healing. Resistance to rememberance is one of my condition in incarnating.

Our goal is to undistort ourselves to be able to reach higher positive dimensions.
